This Week

This week was short, especially for me. We watched those presentations. By far the Lauren Faust one was the best. What will we do without BrownMan... :( Link of interest->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu1UE&list=PLxoUahStZsJEMHbyYNwLo7nw3z5aifb-e&index=1

\\\Emotional Census\\\

This video pretty much took a bunch of people and hooked them up to MRIs and they showed them some videos and they saw how their brains reacted to each of them - whether it be exciting or boring.  They all thought the dog was pretty boring while the cowboy movie was fun. Then it sums it all up by saying that directors will try to make more exciting movies for our brains.

What I think about this is that you pretty much can't really change what entertains people. So like if you had people being bored while watching a dog run around, there's nothing you can really change about peoples' brains to make that dog entertaining.

\\\ WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BE AN ANIMATOR \\\

In this article, this guy is telling why you don't want to be an animator.  He says it's really boring and tedious.  He says you got to be really patient because it's boring.  Then he goes on to say it's not ALWAYS gonna work out.

My opinion about this is that you he's right and you don't want to be stuck doing something.  And if you're going to do something, make sure it entertains you.  This guy seems nice.

Drones\\\

This article about drones states it will change the way directors will go about making films (which is absolutely not true at all). The rest of the article is about the author learning to fly a drone in a park in Brooklyn, apparently they suck, as they referred to themselves as a noob. They compared it to driving an RC car. Honestly, if I ever get a drone I hope it won't be like the RC helicopter mission in GTA: Vice city ("Hmmmmm... Nice bike!")(Link isn't to the RC chopper mission, but to a cool scene)(This is the link to the RC mission: Link)

Also about drones, I feel like they aren't like, but actually are just high end RC choppers. They seem cool, but wwwaaayyy too overhyped just like Destiny and Shadow of Mordor.

\\\Spongebob\\\

Spongebob Squarepants does a 3D movie... In 3D!! Now I know this is some exciting stuff, but let's think a little. How many of us love sponge bob? All of us, of course. But how many of still actively watch the show? Not nearly as many of us. Freaking hipsters.

Beyond that point, the movie is about about sponge bob who goes to shell city to get Neptune's crown-- wait, no. I have absolutely no idea what this movie is about other than sponge on going on land.

Now I do plan on watching this movie. Not in theaters though, or maybe even this decade. It's gonna get added to the very long list of movies that I have to watch. Several titles on this list include, but are not limited to "Top Gun", "The Breakfast Club", the 2nd and third Karate Kids, and all of the mission impossibles.

\We Rule

EDIT: Also, You're welcome.
